a new project

Posted in personal, photography by rik on May 22nd, 2008

At a recent church gathering, I had my cameras and was hanging out with some of the youth. I busted out the Polaroid camera and took pictures of a couple of them. Then, I took a picture of each of them with their polaroid. I’ve only done two so far, but I’m excited to see where this goes (for as long as the film lasts).

distraction

Posted in personal, photography by rik on May 21st, 2008

From a recent gathering of a bunch of families from our church at City Park for a large-scale Family Home Evening. This is my first time playing with textures, really. I kind of like the effect.

(Since I’m off work and we’re not connected at home, that means I’m without the internets and blogging from the local public library, so no shot stats for the next week or two. Sorry!)

a (mostly) family portrait

Our daughter shot our family with the Polaroid last week. It’s actually one of my favorite pictures of us now, minus the fact that she’s not in it.

And the fact that she cut off my head. =]

My kids are discovering the joys of Polaroid pictures, right on the eve of Polaroid’s quiet passage into the void. Here’s my daughter’s first Polaroid shot.
For anyone that missed it, Polaroid has announced that it’s going to discontinue making Polaroid instant film at the end of the year. Stock up while you can, if you care.
